LOS GLOBOS/LA-ARTWALK/J-GAL-STA-GRAM/LA MAGAZINE/DELI MAGAZINE

Hello J-BLOG readers! Glad to see that you have joined us in another edition of JGAL LIFE.  As always we have much to talk about, there are always lots of things happening in our world as we continue to follow our dreams.  All four members of JGAL work a full time job, yup 40 plus hours a week of course, and although maybe the jobs arent the worst..playing music whilst traveling is something that we all dream of on a daily basis. My point being it isn't always the easiest to find time for J-BLOGGIN, but we make it happen! Did you know that JGAL does all our own booking, promoting, marketing, merchandising... you name it we do it..! We are fighting diligently on a daily basis to it happen for us,  so believe me when I say that we are thankful for the support that you all give us. You are helping us kick ass in the music world, and for that we are very appreciative!

Soon enough we will be announcing the JGAL TOUR  in all its glory and we cannot be more excited to share it with you! But until then check out the upcoming shows that we have, a few features about JGAL, and of course some dope ass photos from INSTAGRAM or what we like to call
J-GAL-STA-GRAM!
